Everyone, if you're looking for a small win, this is one of them. A victory on the battlefield, but the war is far from over.

OK that fixes the new state registrations but doesn't solve the federal problem. One step forward though.

5-4 vote in favor of the RNC

Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch would have granted the application in full (They would have ruled the 41,000 voters who just used the federal form without proof of citizenship are ineligible to vote).

Sotomayor, Kagan, Barret and Jackson would have totally denied the application and continue the stay on the Arizona election law.

Looks like Roberts and Kavanaugh are the reason the court ruled this way where it's a partial victory for us.

I'll take it as a win but I don't like seeing it be this close.

How many state elections run concurrent with the federal elections? This would force registration for votes that take place at the same time. Usually on the same ballots if I'm thinking correctly. So won't this force states that use the same ballots to ensure a citizen is voting? And won't it isolate the state elections from fraud exposing fraud at the federal levels where feds can hammer the evil doers.

These couple exerpts caught my eye:

Arizona is a state with the unusual situation of bifurcated elections, in which residents who provide proof of U.S. citizenship can vote in all elections while the others may vote only in federal elections, resulting in ballots cast by voters who haven’t proven their U.S. citizenship. State law requires residents registering to vote in the state to provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

However, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that Arizona must accept U.S. voter registration forms because of federal requirements under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, the state allows residents registering to vote who don't provide proof of citizenship to receive ballots for federal races only.

Sounds like an Act that needs revisiting.

From AI:

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993, also known as the "Motor Voter Act," is a federal law that aims to increase voter registration and turnout in the United States. The Act requires states to offer voter registration opportunities at motor vehicle agencies, public assistance agencies, and by mail. It also prohibits states from removing registered voters from the rolls unless they have died, moved, or failed to vote in two consecutive federal elections. The Act has been criticized by some for allegedly increasing the potential for voter fraud, while others argue that it has made voting more accessible for eligible citizens.
